Talk to me. Show me your diary if you normally eat this way. I REALLY want to cut out all the crap. Carbs and sugar are my vices. I should really be seeing more ab definition with all the working out I do but I think my diet is really causing that to not happen. I also need to up my protein as well. I have a hard time getting my suggest amount in each day. I've been thinking about doing a protein powder but it has to be whey free. The whey protein stuff makes me sick. I do run so the night before LONG runs I do carb up but I find it hard not to do that all the time! Any advice you guys can offer would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I don't do a low carb high protein diet but I just wanted to comment on the whey protein. I have a difficult time with protein powders but found that hydrolyzed whey protein isn't an issue for me.

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    Oh and there are also vegan protein powders out there that you may want to check out :-)

    I like greek yogurt. I am also using a protein powder, it is whey with 5 ingredients. I think when I finish this pack, I am going to get powdered eggs whites instead to use for a protein powder in my smoothies.

    Otherwise I eat meat. But meat can be expensive. I also like lentils.

    I strive for 100g of protein a day and my diary is open. I don't pay attention to sugars/carbs, but I try to limit my added sugars. My ratios are 45% carbs/ 25% protein/ 30% fat as a goal. Actual is more like 45/23/32.

    Mine is open, I am working on it but I generally have no problems staying under on carbs and going over on protein. I try to eat very little processed foods...you can take a look and hopefully get something out of it! :)
